After a successful opening of the exhibitions
?Glamour and Globalization" and ?Fanshop of
Globalization" last Thursday at PHOENIX Halle
Dortmund (on view until July 16, 2006) we would
be very happy to welcome you at our next
exhibition opening: On Sunday, May 14, 2006, at
11:30 the exhibition ?face the unexpected. Media
art from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania" will be
opened at the Museum am Ostwall in Dortmund,
Germany. It is a cooperation between Hartware
MedienKunstVerein and the Museum am Ostwall,
Dortmund.

In this framework various events will take place
(see below, and, e.g., www.hmkv.de).

We would be very happy to welcome you at the
exhibition opening on Sunday, May 14, 2006, at
11:30 at Museum am Ostwall, Dortmund!

The exhibition at the Museum am Ostwall and the
PHOENIX Halle Dortmund presents 29 installations,
videos, and photo series by 23 artists from
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The exhibition's
German title "mit allem rechnen" can be
understood in both figurative and literal senses.
"To count on anything" means to be ready for
anything at a time in which anything is (or
seems) possible.

Therefore many works refer to personal stories
and individual experiences in the context of the
collective past, which is largely connected to
state socialism. But the title also has an
economic meaning. To have to "count on anything"
refers to the extreme pressure for individuals
and society to adapt, succeed, and survive under
conditions of radical transition from a planned
state socialist economy as a part of the Soviet
Union to a free market economy in the framework
of the European Union.

The catalogue costs 18 Euro at Museum am Ostwall
/ PHOENIX Halle Dortmund and can be ordered at
www.revolver-books.de.
